The nose remind me the Benetton B199 from this point of view

Remember when the main sponsor would go on the rear wing? Now they'll all be going to the outside plates, looks very silly with that rear wing.

i always found the two most beautiful f1 noses and front wings to be the lotus 107 and the williams fw14b














Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Im actually quiet upset... I hate the new cars more and more everytime I see them.

The Williams still looks ok, but the BMW is just an epic failure. Even if they win every race next year, is it really worth it? :(

Even Christian Klien has said how ugly it is, and I cant blame him!

I have to say I am already getting used to it. They are still ugly, but it's not the end of the world.

I'd love to see that BMW going to the crashtests :D

AFAIK the Honda was still running an 08-spec rear wing yesterday.



I'm slowly getting used to the BMW. Cover up the front wing with your hand and it's beautiful. I love the small rear wings but the front ruin it. I don't think they're that safe either?

I do dispair at the front wing to be honest. Wish the rules could allow for smaller wings!

I think the BMW could look nicer with a smaller front -



But ah well. The Williams doesn't look too bad to be honest, I do hope that the full 2009 cars will look nicer, it's just I've always thought the 2009 front-wing width size looked yuck...
Zulu - the BMW like that would look great.

Even the Honda with 08 back and 09 front wing looks good - its just together, they are so out of proportion

Thats because its all blurry and out of focus ;) . Going off these new concepts from BMW, Honda and Williams, it will be interesting to see what the top teams come up with...

Expect 2009s car launches to take place under minimal lighting :P
If only the actual body wasn't so thin. It looks like a stick with wheels.
I actually find the new cars rather amusing, in a 'crazy-ideas-from-the-seventies' kind of way. I mean, it's nice to see new designs, completely different from one another, popping up on the test days. Next thing you know, there's a huge fan sticking out of one of them cars =P

Also, the small rear wings are worse than the huge front wings, IMO, but all in all, I think I can get used to this new F1.

Reminds me of the front wings March had in the mid-70s




Early 2004 Williams after a Matchbox makeover :P
